VERY useful: Can you import gnubgID into XG?

Yes, you can!

Well, lately I am playing around with XG. There are some things I like and some others I don't like (or did not figure out how to do what I want XG to do).

Since XG comes along with it's own XGID for positions, I automatically made the assumption that you can not use the gnubgID. And under File -> Import -> Position from Clipboard there is no hint (or wording) that one could import a gnubgID

This made me sad, because I have many, many positions from gnubg saved as html files and often want to see what XG thinks about these positions. But I am too lazy to set up the board in XG from scratch.

Just out of the blue, today I just tried to copy & paste a gnubgID into XG, and to my big surprise and happiness it worked!

For sure, many of you much smarter than me already figured that out on your own. But I thought it might be a good idea to share this new feature with those who are new to XG or dumb like me ;-)
